"Floridians need to come together to stand down and revoke our state's misused Stand Your Ground Law. This law, all too often, has been used to justify racial profiling and embolden people to engage in unnecessary, confrontational behavior," Brown said in a statement released by her office Thursday.

The statement went on to say, "In the words of Ms. Lucia Davis McBeth, Jordan Davis' mother, who I am accompanying today at the Jacksonville courthouse, 'Stand Your Ground absolves people from being accountable for violence and criminal behavior…and acts like a shield to allow people to be overly aggressive instead of trying to solve conflicts in a more reasonable, diplomatic fashion.' Along with Ms. Davis-McBeth and Americans across the nation, we wholeheartedly believe that this heinous law should be repealed."

The jury went into deliberations Wednesday in the trial of the Satellite Beach man accused of fatally shooting a teen after an argument over loud music. The jury deliberated for three hours Wednesday before recessing for the night.

Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson told jurors Wednesday the evidence clearly shows Jordan was unarmed when Dunn shot into the rear passenger door of a Dodge Durango, where Davis was sitting.

Evidence showed there were three other teenagers in the vehicle, two of whom barely escaped being shot. No witnesses saw anyone in their car with a weapon.

Wolfson said Dunn felt disrespected by the teenager and responded by firing 10 shots at the vehicle.

Dunn took the stand in his own defense Tuesday, saying he feared for his life when he shot and killed Davis. He said he was threatened by Davis and found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.

While on the stand, Dunn said he asked the group of teenagers to turn down their music outside a Jacksonville gas station in November 2012, but that led to an argument and the teens began yelling at him.

"Then in an even more elevated voice I hear 'I should kill that mother (expletive)' and now he's screaming," Dunn testified. "And as his head clears the window frame he says, 'This (expletive) going down now.' This is a clear and present danger and what I said is 'You're not going to kill me you son of a (expletive).'"

Dunn said he got his gun out of his glove box and fired into the vehicle, but he didn't remember how many shots he fired.

After the shooting, Dunn and his fiancee drove to a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine.
